Balloons

Up up and away in my beautiful balloon...🎈enjoyed this ballon online tutorial from jenniemaizels almost wish I could jump into my picture and float away 😉#sketchbookclubballoons #sundaypleasures #jenniemaizels ...

Woohoooo! It’s online #sketchbookclub time!! This week we’re painting #HotAirBalloons on old maps! It is my most requested module! I think you’ll really love this one, can’t WAIT to see them all!! #sketchbookclubBalloons (link in profile 💕) ...

#sketchbookclubballoons My first ever sketchbook club module. I made life difficult for myself by cutting up an old worn map with lots of creases and tears - not a great surface for painting. While I am quite happy with the result I might attempt a version 2 on a nicer map - and maybe add some figures in the baskets...? All constructive criticism and feedback on my efforts welcome! Now I have the fun of choosing the next module. I am thinking fish... ...

My first #sketchbookclub project. Gouache paint and pens on an old map. Lovely memories of living in Bristol and seeing the annual flurry of balloons during the fiesta.

Made a very small start on the latest module for Sketchbook Club - hot air balloons! Since mine are flying over a very green map of Northern France and Belgium, they needed a bit of a white acrylic undercoat in preparation for loads of lovely bright colours.

Flying high! It’s the last week of the summer holidays for us this week and it’s a week to sort, tidy and prepare for the coming term.
Over the very rainy bank holiday we had I completed another #sketchbookclub from jenniemaizels Certainly not my finest work and I found it quite tricky working freehand with the gouache and no outline to follow.
I’ve learnt lots with this one; how the gouache behaves, layering paints, brush control and shading. Great fun!

I LOVED doing this one but am going to have another go at it as I’ve made some mahoosive mistakes and just want to be happy with at least one hot air balloon! Lovely lovely module from sketchbookclub #sketchbookclubballoons ...

sketchbookclub balloons. Found this quite difficult. Small details in gouache without a teeny tiny brush were hard and the humidity meant the paint was taking forever to dry and kept muddling. 🤷🏼‍♀️ also made a 🐷 👂🏻 of sticking the map in the book but you can’t win them all. #sketchbookclubballoons ...

I'm still trying to do one #sketchbookclub a month although it always seems to be a different one to everyone else!
Another one for a sunny day 😊
